Archie #469

In "A Sense of Rumor," Archie stumbles upon a whisper from Mr. Weatherbee about a temporary replacement—Major Jack Bullard—and immediately sets off a chain reaction of panic at Riverdale High. With rumors spreading faster than a school bell, Archie’s exaggerated tale of a military takeover sends the whole school into a frenzy, all before the real Major Bullard even sets foot in town. Written by Angelo DeCesare and brought to life with classic flair by Stan Goldberg (pencils), Henry Scarpelli (inks), Barry Grossman (colors), and Bill Yoshida (letters), this 1998 issue captures the timeless chaos of teenage gossip, with Goldberg and Scarpelli also handling the cover.
